Rome, 8 Aug. (LaPresse) – During the Italian women’s national team’s training camp in Cavalese, there was also time for a gesture that perfectly illustrates Julio Velasco’s approach to building a team. So, amidst training sessions, technical meetings and gym work, the head coach of the senior women’s national team decided to surprise the fourteen Azzurre with a special gesture, presenting each player with two books – all different and chosen specifically for each individual. These were not merely reading recommendations, but books – including many bestsellers – that Velasco had already read and which he decided to give to his players based on their individual characteristics and sensibilities. This initiative reflects a philosophy that the team’s development extends beyond technical aspects, recognising reading as a tool capable of fostering curiosity, awareness and dialogue.
